2.0

I rarely write reviews...but feel I must , this morning
🫤Extremely disappointed in our take out order last night
Won ton soup...2 portions , had very doughy, pasty wontons...with NO fillings in the wontons...in either soup....

My order of sweet/ sour fish....came with a syrupy, sickeningly sweet' candy' sauce with red peppers & canned pineapple floating in it
luckily I had asked for it on the side...
so ate the fish with the rice

my daughter's dish was beef & broccoli ...she enjoyed her dish
🤔paid $75+
Very Poor quality
Will NEVER recommend this restaurantView more

Went here since I was a kid when they were in the old location on queen Mary upstairs. They make the best chop suey won ton soup. Also make a great pan fried noodles with vegetables (especially their broccoli), tofu in black bean sauce, shrimp toast, crispy spinach , shrimps in lobster sauce, egg rolls & probably some other dishes I'm forgettingView more

Once a really good Chinese restaurant on the level of the old Yangtze restaurant on Van Horn. But they closed & Pékin Garden moved to the east side of queen Mary road & since that they just don't seem to have that same quality. It's a decent place to eat but it's not a place you have a nice dinner out meal with family or a date. Very dated old interior & menues should be replaced. For a quick lunch under $15 for one with soup & a small portion of rice, the main protein & what not is decent & quick but it hits the spot to full the belly. Value: lunch time maybe not dinner time. Service: reasonable but nothing to applause. Parking is tough. Selection: typical old style Chinese Canadian selection. Pineapple chicken filled with way too much breading - like no chicken practically. Soup broth poor & lacks flavour as do wontons. Beef too chewy. General Tao too sugary & too much breading. Egg rolls cheap & tasteless. Quality & freshness: well......View more

Sure doesn't sound like anything worth experiencing nor paying for!!! Makes one wonder if ANYWHERE ELSE is not a better choice! What passes for beef I would hate to imagine its origins, and how many cases of food poisoning have been experienced.

For the past 12 years, Pekin Garden had been our family favorite restaurant. It had its ups & downs, but generally we were pleased by their food & always returned. Sadly that has changed.

We ordered delivery & it arrived *COLD*. Not luke warm, completely at room temperature, cold. Even the soup! Needless to say it was ruined, cold & soggy, sauces congealed (reheating in the microwave did not revive it). Far more concerning, the egg-rolls were burnt (almost blackened!) flattened & dried out, & several dishes had unusually low-quality meat & chicken that could not be chewed. Overall the food was terrible in taste--cold or not! On top of this, they carelessly forgot to include a main dish dipping-sauce we ordered, which we paid an extra surcharge on. After a few bites it left us feeling sick & we had to THROW IT ALL OUT. A dinner for two that cost $50!

I politely phoned in about the issue, but was told it's our fault because we ordered at a busy time & their driver has many drop offs. To add insult, they charged an extra $3.00 delivery surcharge when they are incapable of organizing deliveries. I called a few days later to speak to the owner, but to no avail. Instead they rudely told me off & spoke over me, not even willing to listen or apologize. I said we won't ever return & they are losing long time customers, & they literally said THEY DO NOT CARE! I can overlook high prices & shrinking portions, but food so bad it has to be thrown out? & then to be apathetic & rude to your customers when they tactfully voice concern? Unfortunately we will never order from Pekin Garden again. I cannot recommend them any longer & I hope this can go out as a warning to anyone new or long time customers. This restaurant has gone way downhill in recent months. Avoid at all costs!

Disgusting, rude, arrogant peasants with no class who deserve to be deserted by all except those who thrive on disrespect and abuse for their money!!!
